NOTE: For circuit identification and component locations, see WIRING DIAGRAMS  .
  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect 7-pin steering lock harness connector located on right side of steering column.
  2. Connect steering lock harness connector terminal No. 7 (White/Yellow wire) to battery voltage and terminal No. 5 (White/Red wire) to ground. Turn ignition switch to ACC position. Push in on ignition key. A clicking sound should be heard from key interlock solenoid. If key interlock solenoid operates properly, go to next step. If key interlock solenoid does not operate properly, replace ignition key cylinder/steering lock assembly. See appropriate STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.
  3. Measure voltage between steering lock harness connector terminal No. 7 (White/Yellow wire) and ground. If battery voltage exists, go to next step. If battery voltage does not exist, check for blown fuse No. 47 (20-amp) located in underhood fuse/relay box. Replace as necessary. If fuse is okay, repair open in White/Yellow wire between steering lock harness connector and underhood fuse/relay box.
  4. Disconnect parking pin switch harness connector. Parking pin switch is located at top of steering column. With shift lever in "P" position and pulled toward driver, check for continuity between parking pin switch harness connector terminals No. 1 (Red wire) and No. 3 (Black wire). If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair open in appropriate wire between parking pin switch and harness connector. Repair as necessary. If wires are okay, replace parking pin switch. See PARKING PIN SWITCH  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
  5. Check for continuity between parking pin switch harness connector terminal No. 3 (White/Red wire) and steering lock harness connector terminal No. 5 (White/Red wire). If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair open in White/Red wire between parking pin switch and steering lock connector.
  6. Check for continuity between parking pin switch harness connector terminal No. 1 (Black wire) and ground. If continuity exists, check for loose ignition key switch harness connector and parking pin switch connector. Repair as necessary. If connectors are okay, substitute a known-good steering lock assembly and retest. If continuity does not exist, repair open in Black wire between parking pin harness connector and ground.
